2019 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WX19 XWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following the May 2026 MOT, which it passed despite previously failing the same test due to tyre condition and a faulty windscreen wiper. The repeated failure in May 2026 indicates a continuing issue with front tyre deterioration and wiper effectiveness, suggesting minimal maintenance attention to these consumables. The most recent test at 17,971 miles confirmed no new defects beyond the pre-existing tyre concerns, showing a stable but concerning pattern of tyre degradation. The mileage progression reveals a consistent annual average of approximately 2,567 miles over seven years, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests shows a period of 12 months between the May 2023 and May 2024 tests, followed by a further 12-month interval until May 2025, indicating possible infrequent use or extended periods of storage. The lowest recorded mileage of 7,398 miles in May 2023 aligns with the vehicle’s age and suggests it has been driven very lightly, which may contribute to the tyre ageing observed in later tests. Front tyre condition has been consistently flagged since the May 2024 test, with both nearside and offside front tyres showing signs of perishing or cracking. These issues are classified under 5.2.3(d)(ii), indicating potential safety implications for grip and handling. The windscreen wiper failure noted in May 2026 is a separate advisory item, likely related to wear rather than structural fault. Buyers should inspect the front suspension components for excessive play or bushing deterioration, as well as check for corrosion around wheel arches and structural members. No major mechanical failures were recorded in the MOT history beyond tyre and wiper concerns. However, the lack of significant service documentation raises questions about overall maintenance practices. Buyers should consider inspecting brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems for signs of wear or rust, particularly given the low usage pattern and limited service history. The vehicle presents no immediate structural or safety risks but requires attention to tyre condition and wiper function before long-term use.
